(3) The values given in the lifting capacity tables are the max. permissible lifting
capacities under various OMs and specified operating conditions. The values as
given in the tables include the mass of the hook (Refer to Section 1.3.4) and
slings.
(4) The working radius in lifting capacity table is measured from hook center to
slewing centerline. Its unit is metric meters.
(5) Use next lower rated capacity when working at radius between the figures on
the rated lifting capacity table.
(6) The numbers I, II, III, IV and V in the table indicate the corresponding telescopic
sections (highest number = furthest telescopic section). The numbers, 1, 2, 3
and 4, display the boom status of the telescope. 1 represents the telescope
extends 0%, 2 represents the telescope extends 45%, 3 represents the telescope
extends 90% and 4 represents the telescope extends 100%.
(7) The max. rated lifting capacity for the rooster sheave is 10000 kg. If the rated
lifting capacity for the telescopic boom checked from the table is below 10000
kg, take the value in the rated lifting capacity table.
For example:
The rated lifting capacity is 10000 kg when the actual boom length is of 36
m and working radius of 5 m.
The rated lifting capacity is 7800 kg when the actual boom length is of 45 m
(8) Do not use the main hook and auxiliary hook simultaneously to lift a load during
operation.
(9) All the working radius and lifting heights in lifting height charts do not include
the deflection of main boom and jib.
(10) The working radius of the crane must be strictly limited within the range listed
in the lifting capacity table. If the specified working radius is exceeded, the
crane will tip over even without a load.
(11) Before crane operation, extend the sliding beams (to a uniform length on both
sides) to the extent stated in the lifting capacity tables. After the sliding beams
are in position, install the retaining pins.
a) Be sure to comply with all valid national and regional traffic regulations when driving
the crane on the roads!
b) No person is allowed to stay in operator’s cab during driving.
c) The crane must be made to comply with the relevant local traffic regulations, before it
is driven on public streets, roads and other places. Make sure the weights, axle loads
and dimensions are within the permits specified in the vehicle license.
d) The relevant persons should be trained to ensure safe operation. Initial
commissioning and starting must only be undertaken by a competent person who has
read and fully understands the information provided in the Operator's Manual.
e) Comply with the safety signs on the crane to avoid serious injuries or casualties.
f) All the assembly, commissioning, operation, maintenance and service of crane should
only be carried out by special personnel.
Do not allow the hook block to impair the driver’s field of vision when you drive the
crane on public roads!
The crane operator must obtain or receive the necessary information in a timely fashion
before driving to the work site. In particular:
c) Route
d) Height and width clearance measurements
Based on the above information, the crane operator must assemble the equipment
required to operate the crane:
c) Counterweight
d) Jib
Crane operation may not be possible or improvisation can result if a crane operator
does not have all the required data.
The purpose of crane break-in is to improve its adaptability to the environment. Proper
break-in operation can extend crane service life, increase work reliability and save energy
consumption. Pay attention to the following items during the break-in period:
a) During initial crane operation (less than 100 operating hours), you must follow the
below instructions during this time period:
The work load and work speed must not be too high.
The maximum lifting capacity should not be larger than 80% of the rate one.
Do not operate the crane at maximum speed.
b) Do not drive the crane at the driving speed higher than 55 km / h and with the engine
speed higher than 1800 rpm within the first 600 km. Drive the vehicle on even road.
c) Replace the engine oil after the first 600 km and 1500 km.
d) Increase the driving speed or engine RPM gradually after the first 600 km and 2000
km.
e) Do start and stop the vehicle slowly and gently. Shift the transmission frequently to
break in it at every gear position.
f) Break in the brake linings:
To achieve optimum braking performance, all new brake linings must be broken in by
activating the brakes. Activate the brakes by pumping them at low to high speed. Hard
braking is not permitted. In general, the break-in distance depends on the type of
vehicle, but a minimum of 500 km is recommended. During this phase, the maximum
brake drum or braking lining temperature may not exceed 200℃.
Risk of accident!
The risk of accident increases when new brake linings are subjected to one or
more braking operations over extended periods of time or if the vehicle is
forced to a stop by hard braking from maximum speed several times.
Hard braking and continuous braking are not permitted!
The primary responsibility of crane operator, rigger and signalman is to control, operate,
adjust the crane and conduct the operation in a manner that is safe for both themselves
and others.
b) Overloading.
c) Crashing into bridges, roofs or high voltage wiring due to insufficient vertical
clearance.
d) Unsuitable operation when lifting a load with several cranes at the same time.
f) Loose bolts.
In the interest of both yourself and others, make sure you understand how your
crane operates and familiarize yourself with all the risks associated with the work to
be done.
a) The person who has been trained with the safety knowledge about the crane
operation.
d) Hearing is qualified.
e) Know about the possible fatalness existing in the working area.
k) Know how to administer first aid and know how to use a fire extinguisher. Know
how to survive in an emergency.
Make sure that only the personnel who are qualified and authorized are allowed to operate
the crane.
(1) The operator should check brakes, hook block, wire rope and safety devices
before operation. Any irregularities detected during inspection should be
removed immediately.
(2) The operator must focus his attention on his work during operation and is
forbidden to chat with others. Generally speaking, operator can only follow the
signal sent out by appointed persons. However, for a stop signal, the operator
should obey it at all times, no matter who send it out. He should refuse to follow
signal which violates operation regulations. Stop the crane immediately if
somebody is found climbing the crane.
(3) Operator who is in low spirits or poor health is not allowed to operate the crane.
Prohibit drinking and driving.
During operation of the machine, the rigger is responsible for ensuring that the load is
slung or released safely and carefully and decides which hook and load handling
device to be used in accordance with work plan. Rigger is also responsible for the
safety of the crane.
e) Be able to choose the proper hook and load handling device according to
conditions of the load.
f) Have been trained in hand signals for operation and is familiar to use them.
g) Be able to safely use audio equipment (such as interphone) to send out oral order
exactly and clearly.
h) Make sure that only authorized personnel are allowed to carry out work.
e) Make sure that only authorized personnel are allowed to carry out work.
When selecting the placement location of the crane, observe the following:
a) Crane operations can be carried out within the necessary radius (working radius and
counterweight slewing radius).
b) Support the crane and other things only on ground with sufficient load bearing
capacity.
c) The ground pressure should comply with the permitted and expected value under the
crane with a required lifting load.
— Slopes and ditches
The crane may not be set up too close to slopes or ditches. Maintain adequate safety
clearances in accordance with the type of soil. The formulas for calculating the safety
clearance are as follows:
A1 = T T
If the safety distance can not be maintained, fill and level up the slope and ditch.
Otherwise the crane may topple!
When the crane is supported with a load, the outriggers transmit significant forces to
the ground. In certain cases, a single outrigger has to transmit almost the entire weight
of the crane, plus the load weight, to the ground. The ground must be able to safely
absorb this pressure every time. If the outrigger pad area is inadequate, then it must
be supported from below according to the load bearing capacity of the ground. The
calculation of required support area is as follows:
Support area = crane support force / load bearing capacity of the ground

If there is any doubt about the load bearing capacity of the ground at the placement site,
soil tests should be carried out with a special detecting instrument.
Only strong materials may be used for the outrigger pad bases such as properly
dimensioned wooden timbers.
In order to ensure that pressure is evenly distributed over the base surface, the
outrigger pads must be positioned in the center of the support base.
Figure 02 – 02
i) It has been ensured that there are no live electrical wires within the working range of
the crane.
j) There are no obstacles which will hinder the required crane movements.
a) Do not operate the crane if the temperature at the job-site is more than -20°C to 40°
C.
b) If wind speed is greater than the permissible value (greater than grade 6) or in case of
thunderstorms, while the crane is in operation, do the tasks that follow:
a) Stop the work (safely lower the load)
b) Telescope in the boom
c) Correctly stow the boom.
Operate the crane according to the above instructions, otherwise accidents may
occur!
c) Strong electromagnetic fields are likely to be present if the construction site is close to
a transmitter. Under this condition, be sure to consult a high frequency specialist or
contact the local franchiser or the manufacturer.
Before beginning any work, the crane operator must make sure that the crane is in safe
operating condition. All safety devices, such as load moment limiter, hoisting limit switch,
lowering limit switch, brakes, etc., are in good working order.
The load moment limiter must be adjusted according to the current crane configuration.
The loads given in the lifting capacity table may not be exceeded. The loading equipment,
load carriers and ropes must be in accordance with specified requirements. The weight of
the hook and loading equipment must be subtracted from the load given in the lifting
capacity table.
The counterweight required depends on the weight of the load to be lifted and the boom
radius required for operation. The deciding factor for the selection of the counterweight is
the data in the corresponding lifting capacity table.
The crane may topple over if the counterweight is not installed according to the
lifting capacity table!
When lifting a load, reeving of wire rope should be in accordance with the data in
lifting capacity table. Otherwise the wire rope may break off and the winch reducer
and motor may be damaged.
e) Support the crane on outriggers f) Do not lift a load that is above the
before operation. capacity of the crane.
i) Do not try to lift a load that is j) When the load is off the ground,
buried or frozen on the ground. the operator must stay in the cab.
p) Keep a minimum of 3 wraps of rope on the winch while you operate the crane.
q) The operation should be stable and gentle. Do not carry out any jerky movements with
the joysticks. Avoid any sudden acceleration or braking or conversion operation.
r) Checks on the crane should be carried out from time to time during operation. Once
there is any abnormity, find out the reasons and fix them.
s) When the actual lifting load reaches 90% of the rated one, the warning light will light
up and the buzzer will send out slow acoustic warning. At the time, much attention
should be paid to the operation.
t) No modification of the crane is allowed. Otherwise the person will take the
consequence himself.
Stop the operation or do not start to lift a load, if one of the items that follow occurs:
An overload or if the weight of the load is unknown.
The load lift moves out of position, the rigging becomes too loose or the load is
out of balance.
The protective material between the edges of load and wire rope is missing.
The light level at the job-site goes below a safe work condition.
Equipment malfunction or damage to the crane that decreases the safe
operation of the crane, such as failure of brake and safety devices or damage to
wire rope.

Introduction:
The crane is mounted with reversing radars to measure the distances to nearby
objects. They can be used to alert the driver to unseen obstacles during reversing
maneuvers. Depending on the speed of the vehicle and the distance to the obstacle,
the system will warn the driver by audible means about the risk of collision.
Work process:
The reversing radars will be automatically activated after you turn the drive range
switch to “R”.
When you move the vehicle slowly and smoothly toward rear, the radars will give
signals of presence of the obstacle and the car's computer voice issues the warning
statement once detected the obstacle.
When the distance to the nearby object is between 1.5 m and 3 m, the car's computer
voice issues “The actual distance”. When the distance is less than 1.5 m, the car's
computer voice issues the “Stop” statement, warning the driver to stop immediately to
avoid collision.

6) After the control light “Diesel engine preheating system” goes off, apply the
engine control and turn the ignition starter switch to stage “S” to start the
engine.
(1) Turn the ignition starter switch to stage “S” within 30 s after the control
light “Diesel engine preheating system” goes off.
(2) If the engine does not start after a maximum of 15 seconds, wait for 30 s.
The starter can be operated three times for 15 seconds per attempt with
a pause in between of 30 s respectively. If the engine cannot be started
for 3 times, rectify the errors.
c) Preheat the engine and check instruments for functions:
(1) In order to make the engine oil flow into each part of the engine and
ensure normal fuel combustion, the engine must be preheated to make
coolant temperature rise up.
(2) Do not run the engine at high speed without load during preheating.
Otherwise, the engine may be damaged and the service life if the
engine will be shortened.
(3) Do not run the engine at idle speed for a long time. Otherwise, the
engine performance may be decreased.
(4) It is forbidden to run the engine at high speed with heavy load when
coolant temperature is below 60℃.
(5) When the engine is running at idle speed, the engine oil pressure
cannot be less than 0.1 MPa. During the engine preheating, the engine
oil pressure will raise up to a stable value.
Do not run the engine if there may be inflammable gas around. Since the
gas may be inhaled into the engine via the air intake system. Not only the
engine may speed up even be overspeeded, but also may result in fire even
explosion. Risk of heavy property loss!
a) Apply the service brake pedal slightly to slow down the vehicle
b) Shift down the transmission to gear 1.
c) When the engine slows down to the low speed, depress the service brake pedal
to bring the vehicle to a standstill at the specified location.
Do not depress the service brake pedal jerkily except in a clear emergency!
1) Pull the parking brake backwards to lock the vehicle.
4) Press down the button “Engine off” for 2 to 3 sec. to stop the chassis engine.
5) Pull off and store the ignition starter switch after the engine is turned off for
30 sec.
6) Make sure that ignition starter switch is not in the “ON” or “ACC” position for
a long time when the crane is parked. The battery drains in these conditions.
7) If you park the crane on a slope, you must put the chocks before and behind
the wheels.
8) Make sure that the hazard lights illuminate when the vehicle is parked on the
road at night.
3.3.3 Driving
Apply service brake before shifting from “N” to “D”. The engine RPM will be
decreased a little after the required gear is selected.
Run the engine at idle speed before shifting from “N” to “D” or “R” when the
crane is stationary.
b) Setting axle suspension and applying level control
Pull back the hand lever of parking brake as far as the stop in the hand lever's
longitudinal direction and push forward.
When the parking brake is released, the crane can immediately start moving.
Depress engine control pedal to increase engine RPM. The vehicle begins to move.
Depress service brake pedal and check the service brake.
f) Engine exhaust brake
The engine exhaust brake consists of compression release engine brake and engine
exhaust brake.
Utmost care should be taken when operating the engine exhaust brake!
In case of low oil pressure (the engine oil pressure is below 0.06 MPa), there is
no engine lubrication. This results in engine damage. Immediately bring the
crane to a standstill and turn off the engine. Examine the lubricating system.
b) Checking compressed air supply
The two barometers resp. display the air pressure of air reservoir for front axle and air
reservoir for intermediate / rear axles.
If the pressures of the air reservoirs are below 0.55 MPa, the warning light
“Brake pressure too low” will light up and the buzzer will send out alarm
simultaneously. Immediately bring the crane to a standstill and rectify the cause
of the defect. Otherwise, it is very dangerous.
If the pointer is near “0", refill the fuel reserve. Do not drive when the fuel tank is
empty, or the fuel system will have to be vented.
d) Checking the engine coolant temperature
If the pointer points to the red range for a long time while driving, immediately
bring the crane to a standstill and check the engine coolant system. Otherwise,
this will result in engine damage.
— Transmission
a) Gear shifting
1) The vehicle starts in gear 1, and the switch “Pre-selection of high / low gear
range” should be changed into low gear range.
2) When shifting, the clutch must be disengaged completely, and the gear lever
should be shifted in position.
3) Both the high gear and low gear areas have a neutral position. The gear
lever should be positioned in neutral in low gear area when parking.
4) When it is engaged into reverse gear, stop the vehicle firstly and then change
gear to avoid damaging the transmission. When engaging the reverse gear,
large force should be used to overcome resistance of the reverse lock.
5) Do not skip a gear when you move through low gear range and high gear
range. Otherwise, risk of serious damage to the synchronizer of auxiliary
transmission.
The switch “Pre-selection of high / low gear range” must be used when
changing gear between gears 4 and 5.
6) When you drive on a descending gradient, do not shift gear between high
and low gear range.
8) Inspect the grease level of transmission after you stop the vehicle for several
minutes.
When the temperature exceeds 120℃, the grease will be decomposed and
service life of transmission will be shortened.
Do not move the vehicle when the gear lever is in neutral position.
a) Description
In the drive system, clutch is a part directly connected with the engine. Its function
is to effectively engage or disengage its driving and driven parts under driver’s
operation.
2) During downshifting, depress the service brake to decelerate the vehicle, and
then depress the clutch pedal properly to change into proper gear.
When shifting the gear during driving, depress the clutch pedal and
then release it rapidly, otherwise there is a risk of increasing clutch
abrasion.
3) Do not depress the clutch pedal as possible as you can except parking at low
speed.
Only when the compressed air pressure P is above 0.6 MPa, can the
clutch be completely disengaged.
a) When you go into a corner, look around before you turn the steering wheel. Turn the
steering-wheel after you make sure that it is safe to move. Then put the transmission
in a lower gear and apply a small quantity of pressure on the service brake.
b) The steering wheel has a mechanical limit. Do not continue to turn the wheel when at
the limit. Do not keep the wheel at the limit for more than 5 seconds.
c) If the vehicle is steered insufficiently, decrease the speed slowly while you turn the
steering-wheel in the same direction as the turn.
d) If you over-steer, release the engine control pedal or depress the service brake while
you turn the wheel in the opposite direction of the turn.
e) Decrease the speed of the vehicle and move down the transmission gear if you have a
sharp turn.
The brake system consists of driving brake (service brake), auxiliary brake and emergency
brake (parking brake). The emergency brake can also be selected to park the vehicle in
normal condition and on slopes.
— Operation
1) Driving brake
There are several cases of braking. For details, please refer to the following
instructions:
– Normal brake during driving, release the engine control pedal ahead to slow
down the vehicle according to the actual road conditions like road surface,
traffic, etc., and then continuously or intermittently apply the service brake to
slow down or stop the vehicle stably.
– Slow brake after rapid brake: when there is an accident in front, apply the
service brake rapidly and then apply it again slowly. Release the pedal slowly
according to the distance away from the accident spot and shift gear in
accordance with the actual driving speed. At last, apply the engine control
pedal to drive at normal speed.
– Cadence brake: depress the service brake pedal and then release it. Repeat
the operation to decelerate the vehicle gradually. The operation should be
very gentle.
– Rapid brake: in an emergency, release the engine control pedal immediately
and apply the service brake jerkily (sometimes apply the parking brake at the
same time) to bring the vehicle to a standstill as soon as possible. As a result,
the accident will be avoided.
If the rapid brake is applied frequently, the abrasion of tires, brake drum
and friction lining will be increased and the service life of each part will
be shortened. Therefore, do not apply rapid brake except in an
emergency, especially in rainy days or on frozen road.
2) Auxiliary brake
If service brake fails or cannot be applied in time during driving, pull the parking
brake control lever backwards to the locking position to activate the emergency
brake. To release the parking brake, pull back the hand lever of parking brake as
far as the stop in the hand lever's longitudinal direction and push forward.
(1) Emergency brake (namely parking brake) can also be selected to park
the vehicle in normal condition and on slopes.
(2) Deactivate the emergency brake before driving.
— Points for attention
1) After the engine control pedal is released during driving, do not step on the brake
pedal when there is no necessity to brake the vehicle.
2) Do not apply emergency brake when the vehicle is driving on narrow, frozen or
muddy roads or in a rainy / snowy day. Under the conditions, such as crossing
railways, driving under the bridges, or driving on a road with pools of water, or one
side of the vehicle is driving on frozen or muddy roads, avoid applying the service
brake as much as possible. Otherwise the vehicle may be shut down suddenly.
3) After driving across a road with pools of water, depress the brake pedal for
several times to eliminate the water on the braking shoe so as to ensure the
brake performance.
4) Before driving on a long descending gradient, shift the range selector to low-gear
range. Under this condition, the driving speed is mainly controlled by the traction
resistance from the engine and with the assistance of engine exhaust brake and
service brake. Do not let the vehicle move forward when transmission is in
neutral.
5) When the parking brake is used as the auxiliary brake, do not pull back the
parking brake hand lever to the limit position. When you park the vehicle under
any conditions especially parking the vehicle on a slope, pull back the hand lever
of parking brake as far as the stop in the hand lever's longitudinal direction. Risk
of fatal injury and accident!
This vehicle is equipped with differential locks for driving off-road, on tracks and in winery
conditions. The vehicle is equipped with the following off-road drive devices:
The differential locks may only be added when the crane is stationary.
In order to avoid damage to drive axles, ensure that the following prerequisites are
met:
(1) Only add differential locks and off when the vehicle is stationary!
(2) Do not add differential locks when the driving wheels are turning!
(3) Drive carefully, do not start jerkily, only drive on straight routes and do not
attempt to corner!
(4) Only drive on difficult terrain (e.g. sand, slush, loose or slippery subsoil etc.)
with differential locks.
(5) Danger of damage to drive axles and entire drive train! Considerable damage
can be caused by driving on solid subsoil with good grip when a differential
lock is on. Turn the differential locks off as soon as possible.
4) Tip down (on the button “Temposet”): the speed is decreased by 1.5 km/h
5) The minimum vehicle starting speed: 25 km/h
b) Press (set+) or (set-) on the button “Temposet” to enter the cruise control mode.
c) Risk of danger! When the cruise control mode is activated, the driving speed will not
be controlled by the engine control pedal. Do the following operations to reliably
deactivate the cruise control:
When the gear, driving speed and engine RPM comply with the requirements for
cruise control, press the (set+) or (set-) to activate button “Temposet” and hold. At
this time, you can change the driving speed in the steps below:
- Accelerating (acc): Press the (set+) on the button “Temposet” and hold, the
engine RPM is continuously increased and the driving speed is increased
accordingly.
- Decelerating (dec): Press the (set-) on the button “Temposet” and hold, the
engine RPM is continuously decreased and the driving speed is decreased
accordingly.
- Tip up: Press the (set+) on the button “Temposet”, the specific vehicle speed
is increased by the set value and the driving speed is increased accordingly.
- Tip down: Press the (set-) on the button “Temposet”, the specific vehicle
speed is decreased by the set value and the driving speed is decreased
accordingly.
If the corresponding switches are engaged to the ECU, you can turn off the cruise
control by depressing the clutch pedal, service brake pedal or activate the exhaust
brake. After you exit the cruise control, press down the button “Tempomat” to resume
cruise control on the condition that requirements for cruise control are still fulfilled.
You can turn off the cruise control by depressing the engine control pedal. Under
cruise control mode, if accelerator signal is detected, ECU will make a comparison
between cruise torque and pedal torque. The larger one will be used for the overtaking
during cruise control. Under this condition, the cruise control will be resumed
automatically after you release the engine control pedal.
(1) Only use the cruise control when traffic conditions permit a steady speed. It
may not be possible to maintain the speed on ascending or descending
gradients or in off-road condition. Otherwise the cruise control will be
locked because of too large acceleration or deceleration. As a result, the
cruise control can only be resumed by resetting the ECU.
(2) The requirements for cruise control are rigorous. If button “Temposet”
cannot be activated, you should examine the button functional work.
For example:
If the clutch switch is damaged, the clutch signal sent to ECU is 1. It means
that the clutch pedal has been depressed. At this time, the Temposet button
cannot be activated for the sake of safety.
1) Drive the crane to a flat and straight road and make the crane in a good condition.
2) In order to test the “Tempomat” and “Temposet” buttons, you can also test the
PTO function when the engine is running. How to test:
– Turn on the engine.
– Press down the button “Tempomat” to make the engine RPM increase to
1300 rpm.
– Press the button “Temposet” (set+) or (set-), the engine RPM will be
increased or decreased accordingly.
– Press up the button “Tempomat” or depress the service brake pedal, the
engine will run at idle speed.
3.3.11 Towing
(1) Release the parking brake when towing, or the brake system will be damaged.
(2) When towing, the speed must always remain below 20 km/h.
If the driving motor cannot be started, a compressed air supply must be established
from the towing vehicle to the mobile crane. A hose coupling is attached at the front
under the bumper to supply compressed air to the mobile crane to be towed.
Use a hose pipe to connect this attachment for the external supply with the towing
vehicle.
The supply pressure of the compressed air brake system of the mobile crane to
be towed must be at least 6 bar.
With the engine turned off, the vehicle can only be steered at the speed within 5
– 10 km/h.
– Disconnect the drive shafts from the transfer case to the drive axles at the
drive axles and tie up.
– Disconnect the drive shafts from the transmission to the transfer case at the
drive axles and tie up.
a) Stopping
1) Brake the crane until it comes to a standstill.
If stop the crane for more than 1 minute, shift the transmission to neutral “N” to
avoid clutch wear and prolong clutch service life.
b) Stopping the vehicle when the engine is running
— Self-diagnosis
This crane is equipped with Weichai engine which is of diagnostic function. If the ECU
detects errors occurred in electrical control system, it will:
a) send error codes and store them in.
b) make warning light A illuminate.
c) activate protective device automatically.
If warning light A illuminates, it indicates the engine is defective. Stop the crane and
remedy till the warning light goes off.
If warning light A does not illuminate, but the error code is still displayed, it indicates
stored error codes or not very serious defect which will not affect normal operation.
Under most circumstances, the protective device activated will decrease the engine
RPM to guarantee the engine running with fault (namely the “Limp home” mode).
However, the serious fault will lead to engine shutdown.
— How to read the engine error codes
1) Press and release the “Engine fault diagnosis” button. The error codes will be
flashed out in warning light B. Refer to the Blink code list for detailed
information.

If the “Engine fault diagnosis” button is activated, the warning light “Engine
error code displayed” will illuminate.
4) Turn off the circuit breaker close to the battery to disengage the ECU.
5) Start the engine again.
c) A blink code consists of 3 digital numbers. The 1st number refers to the defective
systems, such as ECU, hydraulic component, sensor and actuator etc. The 2nd
number refers to the defective components. The 3rd number refers to defective
path (Abbr. Dfps).
1) This manual is just aimed at the electrical fault of National Stage III diesel
engine. For mechanical faults, please refer to the instructions available in
the manual of National Stage II diesel engine.
2) The National Stage III diesel engine adopts electrical controlled system,
which is different from the mechanical one. If the engine is defective, you
should use special diagnostic instrument.
3) The Weichai National Stage III diesel engine national adopts Bosch
common rail system (the 2nd generation) which has high requirements on
oil lines (including low pressure oil line and high pressure oil line). Many
faults are caused by defective oil line. However, the harness is also a main
cause for the fault.
4) The blink code is just a pre-judge to ECU internal fault. You should use
diagnostic instrument for further diagnosis.

The two support control units with buttons are attached to both sides of the vehicle. Their
functions are the same and the layouts of their buttons are symmetrically arranged. The
extending / retracting of the horizontal cylinders and vertical cylinders, automatic level
control, engine on / off and engine RPM regulation can be controlled simultaneously or
independently. The inclinometers on the center of the units display the crane’s deviation (at
the slewing bearing). The two support control units are connected by cables. The signals of
the right support control unit (auxiliary control unit) are transmitted to the left support
control unit (main control unit) via the cables, and then to the valves and engine controllers
etc. Once one support control unit is in operation, the other one is invalid.
For the left support control unit, refer to Figure 03 – 25.
Press down the button “Outrigger power source” on the keyboard to switch on
outrigger power source (For detailed information, refer to section 3.1.4.1). Only
when the left and right outriggers control boxes are energized and the power
control light illuminates, the following procedures can be activated. Make sure
that both emergency stop buttons are not pressed down before operating
outriggers with support control unit.
a) Put the outrigger pad to working position according to Section 3.4.1.
b) Remove the retaining pins from the sliding beams (Refer to Figure 03 – 27).

c) Open the cover of support control unit with its key.
d) Press down the button “Engine on” to start the chassis engine and the hydraulic
system.
e) Press corresponding button to extend each sliding beam. Release the button until
the sliding beam is extended to the required position. You can also press
corresponding button to extend all sliding beams simultaneously.
f) Press corresponding button to extend each vertical cylinder. Release the button
until the vertical cylinder is extended to the required position. You can also press
corresponding button to extend all vertical cylinders simultaneously.
g) Check whether the crane is level with the inclinometer (Refer to Figure 03 – 28).
Inclination angle should be no more than 0.2°. Press buttons to align the crane
horizontally. If the vehicle is not horizontal, retract or extend the outrigger to level
the crane.
Figure 03 – 29
You cannot retract the other four vertical cylinders until the 5th outrigger is fully
retracted.
(1) Press down the button “Engine off” to stop the chassis engine.
(2) Press down the button “Changeover engine RPM / idle speed” to
changeover engine RPM / idle speed to increase engine RPM. Press again
to return to idle speed. The outrigger speed can be changed via operating
(4) The proximity switches fitted on outrigger boxes and the sensors fitted on
sliding beams are used to detect the outriggers extension (fully or
intermediately extended) mode. The signals will be sent to load moment
limiter in the operator’s cab. According to the detected signals and the
inclination angle, the superstructure controller will judge whether the set
outrigger extension mode is valid. If the set mode is different from the
actual one, the system will sound the alarm and restrict the movement.
(5) Calibrating vehicle deviation sensor to 0°.
How to calibrate:
- Extend the horizontal cylinders and vertical cylinders.
(1) Turn off the chassis engine when crane superstructure works.
(2) Remove the retaining pins from outriggers before extending and retracting
the outriggers. Pin in and lock all retaining pins.
(3) The speed for extending or retracting the outriggers can be adjusted by the
button “Changeover engine RPM / idle speed”.
(4) The clearance between sliding beam and outrigger box can be regulated by
the adjusting bolts.
(5) The telescopic boom must be set down on the boom support when
retracting and extending the outriggers.
(6) Close covers for the support control units after operation or before cleaning
the crane, so as to prevent water from entering.
(7) If any of the emergency stop buttons is pressed, other buttons will be
invalid.
When the axles are in the mud (no traction) or on rough terrain, follow these steps:
a) Add transversal and longitudinal differential locks and apply the creeper gear.
b) Put the transmission in the “F1” position. Otherwise crane service life will be
shortened.
c) Make sure that the engine RPM is around maximum.
d) Tow the vehicle or put rigid materials, e.g. pieces of wood or iron plates, below the
wheels.
3) Stop the engine, when the coolant temperature is in the correct range.
Make sure that the hazard lights illuminate when the vehicle is parked on the
road at night.

4.2.1 General
The load moment limiter is a computer system for controlling and monitoring mobile cranes.
In addition to controlling the boom telescoping via computer programs, it is also of
self-diagnosis function.
The load moment limiter calculates data from the pressure sensors, length sensor, angle
sensor and other monitoring devices to judge whether the crane is in safe working
conditions, and displays the basic parameters, such as boom length, boom angle, working
radius, rated lifting capacity etc., on the monitor.
The “Advance warning” icon appears and buzzer sends out slow acoustic warning if the
current load exceeds the (90%) limit programmed in for advance warning. At this time, the
operator should pay much attention to the operation.
The “Stop” icon is displayed, buzzer sends out fast acoustic warning and all dangerous
crane movements are switched off if the current load exceeds the 100% mark.
The crane can only work towards safe directions till the dangerous operation is
deactivated.
The load moment limiter can prevent crane from tippling or being destructed, thus ensures
safe operation of the crane. However, do not rely entirely on the load moment limiter. If the
rated lifting load displayed on the load moment limiter is different from the one shown in
lifting capacity table, refer to the lifting capacity table.
For the main screen of the load moment limiter, please refer to Figure 04 – 12.
The monitor illustrations in this chapter are only examples. The numerical values in
the individual icons and tables do not necessarily match exactly to the crane.
After the computer system is switched on, the load moment limiter performs a self-test to
check whether the three PLC controllers are connected. If no errors are found during the
system test, the monitor displays the following screen (See Figure 04 – 13). Shortly after
that, the screen as shown in Figure 04 – 14 appears on the monitor.
Figure 04 – 14 OM selection
If an error is found during communication, the buzzer will not stop sending alarm
after computer turned on. It is a normal phenomenon. Please rectify the
communication fault.
The functions of the individual monitor operating elements are program-dependent, and
can be different in any running program. Therefore the description of the individual
programs will be described in detail.

The lighted boom codes show that the corresponding telescopic section will
carry out movements.
If control light on Code 1 and Code 2 light up, the telescopic section III will
carry out movements.
– Method 2
Observe the boom code from the following area of Figure 04 – 39.
Figure 04 – 40
The icon of telescopic section I is highlighted in green which indicates the
telescopic section I is to carry out relevant movements.
– Method 3
You can read the boom code from the control light “Boom code” on the
display unit. The times that the control light flashes every interval indicate the
corresponding telescopic section the telescoping cylinder in.
Cylinder length 1 indicates the position to close the boom pin. Cylinder
length 2 indicates the position to open the boom pin.
The length of telescoping cylinder shown in icon 3 will vary with the moving of
joystick.
h) Icon 8 (Target telescopic section) indicates that the corresponding boom section
highlighted in green will carry out relevant movements in manual telescoping
mode. For example, in screen “Boom status during manual telescoping” (Figure
04 – 35), the highlighted section is telescopic section I. So, the telescopic section
I is to carry out telescoping movements.
(1) In automatic telescoping operation, the telescoping cylinder will drive the
boom to retract automatically if the telescopic section is unpinned (the
control light "Boom unpinned” lights up).
If the boom does not retract for a long time:
– Change into manual telescoping.
– Extend the boom for 5 – 10 mm with slow gear (the second stage).
In this case, the operator must observe the above procedures. Otherwise,
risk of great impact on the boom during retracting.
(2) If the boom pin cannot be closed during the process of telescoping in the
boom automatically:
– Extend the telescoping cylinder with slow gear (the second stage) until
the length of the telescoping cylinder varies.
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met before starting up:
4) Check whether the oil level is between MIN. and MAX. marks.
If the oil level is lower than the Min. marking, fill oil. Otherwise, the engine will
be damaged seriously!
Open the shutoff gate valve (turn the handle in the arrow direction) to connect the
hydraulic oil tank with the oil line. See Figure 04 – 41.
Figure 04 – 41
If the fuel tank has been run dry, always deaerate the whole fuel system.
Do not run the fuel tank dry!
1) Check lubrication status of each moving parts and make sure that all moving
parts are lubricated. Add grease to if necessary.
2) Make sure that the crane is properly supported on a level load-bearing surface,
and has been set up horizontally.
3) Make sure that the toothed ring of the slewing bearing connection is clean and
greased.
4) Make sure that the front and rear parts of oil cooler and A/C radiator have been
cleaned and are free of blockage.
5) Make sure that there are no people or objects in the crane danger zone.
6) Make sure that the cable / rope drums and sensors are free of snow and ice.
7) Make sure that there are no loose parts on the superstructure or the telescopic
boom.
8) Set the joysticks in the neutral position before you start the superstructure engine.
9) Make sure that the parking brake is locked.
Right position:
(1) Release the key to position 1 when the engine starts. Return key to position
0 first if you want to restart the engine.
(2) Do not run the motor for 15 seconds continuously. The motor can be
operated two times per attempt with a pause in between of several minutes
to avoid battery discharging electricity and starting motor being damaged.
If the engine cannot be started after 3 attempts, have the engine defects
rectified.
To ensure the working safety of the crane, the crane must be properly supported on a level
load-bearing surface, and be set up horizontally.
A support control unit with buttons is attached to each side of the vehicle for operating the
outriggers, together with an electronic inclinometer (See Figure 04 – 42) from which the
operator can observe horizontal alignment of the crane.
The maximum permitted deviation from the horizontal position of the crane is ± 0.4°.
Otherwise the chance of fatal accidents may be increased.
Figure 04 – 42
The angle indicator is installed on the lower rear part of the basic boom (on the right side of
the operator’s cab), see Figure 04 – 43. The operator can observe it clearly from the cab.
The angle indicator, which can indicate the included angle between the main boom and the
horizontal plane, should be used in combination with lifting capacity tables and lifting height
charts.
Figure 04 – 43
The load moment limiter is a vital safety device for controlling and monitoring movements
of the crane.
The “Advance warning” icon appears and buzzer sends out slow acoustic warning if the
current load exceeds the (90%) limit programmed in for advance warning.
The “Stop” icon is displayed, buzzer sends out fast acoustic warning and all dangerous
crane movements are switched off if the current load exceeds the 100% mark.
The crane can only work towards safe directions till the dangerous operation is
deactivated.
The hoisting limit switch installed on the main winch, jib or rooster sheave is intended to
prevent the hook block from colliding with the rope pulley. When the distance detected
between the hook block and the pulley is less than the safety one, the hoisting limit switch
is triggered and buzzer sounds. The crane movements “Spool winches up”, “Derrick main
boom down” and “Telescope out” are switched off. At this time, only the crane movements
“Reel off winches”, “Derrick main boom up” and “Telescope main boom in” can be switched
on. Refer to Figure 04 – 44.
Figure 04 – 44
Turn the bypass key switch on the instrument console to the right position to bypass the
switch-off during commissioning and maintenance.
Do not use the bypass key switch when you do usual crane operations.
How to connect and install the hoisting limit switches on jib and rooster sheave:
a) When the jib is used (See Figure 04 – 45.):
1) Remove the bypass aviation socket on the position “ ” of the junction box.
2) Install aviation socket which is connected to the hoisting limit switch for the
auxiliary winch into the junction box.
3) Connect the plug on the jib to the socket on the main boom head. See Figure 04 –
45.
Figure 04 – 46
In order to prevent the wire rope from being spooled up automatically after being reeled off
completely, the lowering limit switch installed beside the winch will automatically switch off
the movements ”Reel winches off” if there are only 3 rope windings remaining on the
winches .
In this case, the buzzer sounds the alarm, the warning light illuminates and only the
upward movement of the hook is permitted. During commissioning and maintenance,
activate the bypass key switch to bypass the switch-off. See Figure 04 – 47.
Do not use the bypass key switch when you do usual crane operations.
Figure 04 – 47
If the high-pressure oil pipe in the hydraulic circuit of derricking cylinder is damaged,
the balance valve in the hydraulic circuit can lock the hydraulic oil in the piston side of
derricking cylinder immediately to prevent the boom upward movement from being
down, and thus ensure the safe operation of the crane.
If the high-pressure oil pipe in the hydraulic circuit of telescoping cylinder is damaged,
the balance valve in the hydraulic circuit can lock the hydraulic oil in the piston side of
telescoping cylinder immediately to prevent the telescopic sections from retracting
naturally, and thus ensure the safe operation of the crane.
There are four pressure gauges on the instrument panel in the operator’s cab. See
Figure 04 – 48.
Figure 04 – 48
Pressure ranges are as follows:
Pressure of derricking up oil circuit: ≤ 24 MPa, pressure of derricking down oil circuit: 2
Pressure of telescoping out oil circuit: ≤ 14 MPa, pressure of telescoping in oil circuit:
≤ 16 MPa
If the hoisting limit switch or lowering limit switch is triggered, or if the maximum load
moment is exceeded, the system will switch off the dangerous movements and buzzer
sounds.
If necessary, bypass this switch-off via the bypass key switch on the instrument console.
For details, please refer to Section 4.1.2.

If there is a need to lift or lower the hook a little under special conditions, the
operator can activate the “Bypass key switch” on the instrument console to bypass
the switch-off movements. Such operation should be performed with utmost caution
to avoid accident.
Do not telescope the boom with a suspended load!
Otherwise, all consequences resulting from such operation should be taken by the
operator!
The anemometer is fitted on the main boom head to detect the wind speed in real time.
Refer to Figure 04 – 49. The wind speed is displayed on the monitor of load moment limiter.
If the actual wind speed exceeds the maximum value, stop the crane operation and lower
the boom.
Figure 04 – 49
The “Emergency stop switch” (See the left figure) is fitted on the
instrument console in operator’s cab. If it is operated, the
electrical crane control is switched off. Every movement being
carried out will be immediately stopped.
c) Check wire ropes (including wire rope end, winding drum and pulleys).
d) Check the liquid level and power source of the crane.
(1) Fuel reserve of the fuel tank is more than 1/4 of the tank capacity (Check the
fuel gauge).
(2) The oil level in hydraulic oil tank should be between MIN. and MAX.
markings in driving condition.
e) The loading and working area should be visible and without obstacles within it. Check
the communication system of operator and supervisor to ensure that nothing will
hinder the operation.
f) Check safety devices for function.
In order to protect the crane and reduce the danger of accidents, always operate
the joysticks slowly and cautiously.
Ensure that there are no obstacles in the crane working area and no persons in
danger zone. Give a short warning signal (horn) before starting a crane
movement.
To move the boom up or down (derricking), hydraulic oil is “pumped in” or “vented out” of
one "derricking cylinder".
The boom angle varies from -0.8°to 82°. The boom angle (boom derricking) is adjusted
from -1.5°- 82°, by telescoping the “derricking cylinder”.
Set the switch “Pre-selection of high speed / normal speed / low speed” to left position.
The boom length and derricking speed controlled by the output current have an
inverse relationship.
Result
Therefore, the longer the boom length is, the slower the derricking speed.
The speed of the derricking down movement is changed by how far you move the
joystick left or right.
Result
The more the joystick is deflected to the left or right, the higher the derricking speed
will be.
– Normal speed:
Set the switch “ Pre-selection of high speed / normal speed / low speed” to neutral
position.
Result
The derricking movement is changed to normal speed as the current is reduced.
– Low speed:
Set the switch “Pre-selection of high speed / normal speed / low speed” to the right
position.
Result
The derricking movement is changed to low speed as the current is greatly reduced
further.
Refer to Figure 04 – 50.
(1) Do all derricking movements smoothly. You can cause damage to the crane if
you move the load up or down with quick stops.
(2) You can cause a dangerous condition if you try to lift a heavy load with the
boom at a low angle. Make sure that you follow the lifting capacity tables.
(3) Lower the hook fully before you derrick up the boom.
(4) For the sake of safety, do not derrick down the boom at high speed.
The boom consists of 6 oval boom sections made from low-alloy and high-tensile steel.
The telescopic boom is telescoped in / out automatically via a telescoping cylinder. The
movements “Telescope telescopic boom in / out” are controlled by the right joystick
automatically. Every telescopic section can be varied in 4 lengths: 0% of its total, 46% of its
total, 92% of its total and 100% of its total. The telescoping cylinder cannot bear any load.
Before telescoping, turn the switch “Pre-selection of derrick / telescope” to the right
position. See Figure 04 – 51.
Figure 04 – 51
For the details of telescoping operation, refer to Section 4.2.2.
The “balance valve”, in the hydraulic system, helps the telescoping components move
smoothly. When the boom is set the correct length, the valve causes a blockage of the
hydraulic oil flow out of the cylinder. This helps to lock the boom in position.
(1) When auto telescoping mode is performed, the boom angle should exceed 80°.
(2) The hook will be lifted or lowered with the crane movements “Telescope
telescopic boom in or out”. Therefore, operate the joystick to adjust the height
of hook during telescoping.
(3) Carry out telescoping movements with maximum care and minimum speed. Do
not telescope the telescopic boom with a suspended load.
(4) Do not telescope the boom out immediately after the boom is telescoped in.
Initiate telescoping movement after 2 seconds.
(5) Do not lift a load that is not in balance.
Before you carry out telescoping movement, check whether the block at the head of
telescopic sections is in contact with its adjacent telescopic sections tail completely. If not,
adjust the shim to make them contact completely and ensure that the boom pin and
cylinder pin bear no load under the condition of “Boom telescoped in completely”.
The hoist gear consists of hydraulic motor, balance valve, reducer, brake, lowering limit
switch, hoisting limit switch, wire rope, main hook, auxiliary hook and so on.
The hoist gear consists of two parts: main winch and auxiliary winch. You should remove
the auxiliary winch from the slewing table before driving. The main / auxiliary winch is
controlled by the right or joystick in the operator’s cab. Refer to Figure 04 – 52 and Figure
04 – 53.
Figure 04 – 52
Figure 04 – 53
The crane movement “Spool main winch up” or "Reef main winch off”
has 4 stages, rapid speed, high speed, normal speed and low speed.
The rapid speed is activated via the button “Rapid gear for main
winch” and the other speeds are activated via the switch
“Pre-selection of high speed / normal speed / low speed”. For detailed
operation, please refer to Section 4.1.2.

(6) The lifting capacity includes the mass of the hook and slings.
The slewing system consists of slewing bearing and slewing gear which includes hydraulic
motor, planetary reducer, slewing brake valve, brake, drive gear and so on.
a) Slewing speed
The speed of the crane movements “Slewing”, varying within 0 – 1.5 r/min, is
controlled by the deflection of left joystick. The slewing speed has 3 stage, high speed,
normal speed and low speed, which can be activated by the switch “Pre-selection of
high speed / normal speed / low speed”. The low speed offers good micro-positioning
performance.
b) Slewing operation
Slewing movements can be activated by the deflection of the left joystick fitted in the
operator’s cab. Refer to Figure 04 – 54.
Figure 04 – 54
(1) Make sure that the slewing table is unpinned before initiating the slewing
movement. Install the pin after finishing this operation.
(2) Ensure that there are no obstacles in the crane slewing area and no persons in
the danger zone. Give a short warning signal (horn) before starting a crane
movement.
(3) Make sure that you do not make fast movements or suddenly stop the slewing
movement.
(4) Longer boom – lower slewing speed.
(5) Heavier load – lower slewing speed.
(6) When you operate a new crane, check the slewing bearing bolts
after the initial 100 working hours. After that, check the bolts at
these intervals: 100, 300 and 500 hours of operation.
The torque on the bolts must be 2350 N·m.
(7) Turn the switch “Pre-selection of counterweight / remote
controller” to the neutral position. Otherwise, switches on the
instrument panel are deactivated and the left joystick cannot
initiate slewing movements. The slewing movements are still
controlled by the remote controller.
Before you start, make sure that you examine or do the items that follow:
– The hydraulic system is working properly to provide adequate flow for simultaneous
crane movements.
– Make sure that you increase the engine RPMs.
– Do not move the joysticks to their limit positions. Easy, smooth movements are
required when performing simultaneous crane movements.

You cannot use the tip boom when you lift a load if the crane is not supported on
outriggers.
Set the offset of tip boom to 30 before lift operation. When the operation does not
use the tip boom, set the offset to 0°.
The tip boom has two offsets of 0 and 30. When the operation does not use the tip boom,
it is installed on the side of the main boom in an offset of 0. Before lift operation, assemble
the tip boom in an offset of 30°.
— Assembly of the tip boom below an angle of 0:
a) Extend the outriggers and level the crane with support control units.
b) Fully telescope in the boom, move the boom to the rear or side of the crane and
position it to min. angle. Ensure there is 20 m slewing range to the slewing center.
